Local Transportation

Public transportation in Durban is primarily represented by rail trains. The railroad has been operating here since 1860.

It is these trains that tourists use to see the beauty of South Africa.

But the main transport in Durban is all kinds of minibuses, which operate under special licenses. The city has developed a lot of all kinds of routes, so it is not difficult to get to any point.

Fare

But, on the advice of tourists, transportation in Durban is better to use a special, tourist. Comfortable Durban People Mover buses run both within the city and in the suburbs every 15 minutes from 6:30 to 23:00. They cost ZAR 4 or ZAR 15 if you buy an all-day pass. One city route travels along the city ring, and the other along the line of beaches. The routes intersect at Dr. Pixley KaSeme station, where you can transfer from one route to the other absolutely free.

Another form of transportation is cabs. The most expensive are the metered ones, which have a fixed fare per kilometer. It is cheaper to order a cab from a private company and negotiate specifically for the trip. It is not recommended to vote on the road to stop the car - it is dangerous.
